So today marks the second full week I've been here in Paris. Time really flies, but I'm really happy because I definetly feel like I'm adjusting well and starting to get into a bit more a routine.
Yesterday was officially Le Jour des Hommes. Pat, Chris and I first got burgers for lunch, went to the Arc du Triomphe (a very manly monument), then went to Les Invalides, the military history museum and the site of Napoleon's giant tomb. The unexpected part of the day came when we stumbled upon a concept car show in a temporary building right in front of Les Invalides. Definetly a man day. And the best part of it all was that the student card Tufts provided us with (that says we are all Art History students) gets us in almost anywhere for free. Going to the top of the Arc and Les Invalides were both free because of the card, and the car show was half off! Last night Anna had people over at her appartement because her host parents were away and told her she could have people over. It was a nice dinner party and great to hang out with most of the group for the night. Overall- awesome jour.
Today was a bit slower pace. A few of us went and checked out a few churches- Notre Dame, Saint Louis-Saint Paul and Saint Gervais. Also we got ice cream on Ile Saint Louis and coffee in the Marais. Overall a really good weekend, and a needed one as well. Saturday was the first full free day I've had here, so it was nice to get to enjoy and explore the city on my own time, with friends and not with the TIP staff or in a scheduled amount of time.
Time to go eat or something. Also I really hope to finish 24 season 6 tonight. Only 2 more episodes!
A bientôt!
